This place is the best. I’ve been coming here since 2016 and the team here is always calm and accommodating. In addition the the mani / pedi you get, you also get a great massage. If you’re lucky or early, you may get Matt. He is fantastic and attentive. Everyone here is good. You can go in for a simple service or go all out, either way it’s worth it! I love it here and go other places when I am out of town (if I have to) and they don’t compare.
